In Reply to: requesting a room posted by jojoy on Monday, 5. October 2009 at 19:25 Bali Time:
When we booked the Kusnadi they told me the room number after I specifically requested location etc. I was then able to check the number on this forum for any known problems from those that stayed there.
This tells me that at least some hotels allocate an actual room number when making the booking.
I think it is always worth contacting the hotel direct, the worst they can say is no.
